STEP 3) Develop specific and realistic outcomes
Your determination of your community’s baseline for each program area, hinges on the development of specific and realistic outcomes.
A specific outcome defines the accomplishment we want to achieve and the target population for that accomplishment.
Continuing to focus on the CPR Programs, the following example shows how the outcome for CPR for the Layperson can be made more specific.
Original outcome: 25% of population is trained in CPR.
There is a need to define the term layperson and what you mean by being CPR trained.
Specific outcome: 25% of population, aged 10 and above and not working in the medical field, is trained in CPR, minimum of hands-only CPR class, within the last three years.
